The San Diego Padres' ongoing quest for a World Series (or at least a playoff title). "You know that many runners enter a race, but only one of them wins the prize. So run to win! Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever." 1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Adrian IS an All-Star, so get him there!!

I got to watch Adrian Gonzalez last night. If you haven’t been out to Petco to see him yet, you are missing the best part of this ballclub. He is great at first base. He is one of the best defenders in the National League. I saw some great plays out there. At the plate, he beat out a bunt single. He had another infield single in the game. This guy knows how to play. He’s not only a great player on the field, he’s a great guy off of it. Last night, Adrian’s brother Edgar rolled on his elbow. Adrian walked over to make sure his older bro was OK. In the game where Chris Young got hit in the face, Adrian and Albert Pujols turned away from the scene and prayed for CY. It was really neat. So vote this guy into the All-Star game. He is the positive on this team. Go Padres!
